Absutely Fabulous! I hope somebody saves it.There must be somebody else here with "FRIGIDAIREITUS!! ;-)

Mmmmmm, turquoise 'n chrome, a few of my favorite things!

 

[washdaddy]

Why, I'm just blinded by the brilliance of this Purdy appliance!

Whoever owned this stove must have had a lot of take-out meals. It looks hardly used.

I'm stunned -never saw one like this or in this condition. like Fred Flinstone would say at the Water Buffalo meeting, "AhWOO! Ah-Wah!"

Roger in Tucson has one just like this, same color.

What is that between the 2 front burners please?

 

[philr]

Between the burners...

That's a camera.

 

This is the first Twin 30 model. It also has the optional vent hood. I hope somebody around gets it!

Question, And....

Were Twin 30 models actually known as Flairs?

For anyone who's seriously considering this, Cohutta, GA is basically a part of Dalton, GA, which is around 70 mi. North of Atlanta and 30 mi South of Chattanooga. There are a lot of very wealthy people in the area, due to Dalton's position as a carpet-manufacturing center, which probably accounts for such a flossy range out in the middle of nowhere.

Too bad about that huge honkin' chip in the cooktop!

This range was pampered. I had an Americana and know from personal experience that splatter shields are an absolute must when doing any skillet cooking.

If anyone here gets it, take the time to change the fluorescent light above the cooktop before putting the range in place. The bulb is only replaceable from the rear.

I think I remember that later models or maybe less deluxe models had a side swing oven door to reduce costs.

Sandy, the early Twin 30 ranges were also Flairs as their upper oven door opened like those in Flair ranges. Later models with side-hinged doors weren't badged as Flairs but some Canadian parts books I have still list them as Flairs.

 

I don't even know where they are listed in these books as the regular Flair ranges and wall ovens were available here but the Twin 30 versions were not. 

 

Here's another 1964-65 Twin 30 with a close up view at the Flair badge on the door.

PhilR:

Thanks for the information - now I know.

By the way, there is more design creativity in that oven window's glass than in the entire Frigidaire line today.

 

[tomturbomatic]

I remember the ads for Flairs when they were introduced and they made much of the "filigree" glass doors. The design helped to hide the oven interiors from passing view.
